Thermo 2000’s AltSource 50-20 takes this into account: it fits 20 kW at 240 V, or 68,240 BTU\/h, and a 48 US gal tank in a unit 22 in in diameter and 25 1\/2 in deep with the door, for 56 7\/16 in of height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts output comes from four 5 kW elements, controlled in four stages by the T2 UltraSmart controller. With the supplied outdoor sensor, the controller modulates output and water temperature to the weather, shuts heating off in warm weather and offers a Boost mode. It runs in standalone electric mode by default or in automatic transfer on an external contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho should choose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AltSource is a thermal mass electric boiler that Thermo 2000 designs as the backup of a renewable-energy heating system, and presents as the only high water volume electric boiler on the market. The 20 kW size is meant for homes with a high heating demand, for example a large property on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e or in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e heated by geothermal or an air-to-water heat pump, with hot-water baseboards or a radiant floor. It is also a good candidate to replace an existing boiler where space does not allow a wider unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to plan before the work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 lists a 110 A breaker and Cu 3 \/ Al 2 wire gauge at 240 V single phase. In a building with a 208 V supply, output becomes 15 kW at 72.5 A. At this level, the electrical service must be assessed carefully, and we do so from the estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the hydronic side, the unit connects in 1 in male NPT and operates at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. The manufacturer recommends a #30 expansion tank with baseboards or a radiant floor, and a #60 with cast-iron radiators. The unit weighs 280 lb, plus the water in the tank once filled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat our installation covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe on-site estimate is free and the written quote specifies the boiler, circulator, expansion tank and electrical work. On installation day, our technicians remove the old unit if needed, set the AltSource in place, connect it to the loop and the circuit, mount the outdoor sensor and supplied accessories, then fill, purge and set up the system with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 covers the tank for 15 years in residential use and the electrical and mechanical components for 2 years.
